Sugar and sand may be mixed together, but the ant rejects the sand and goes off with the sugar grain so pious men lift the good from the bad.

More quotes by Ramakrishna
The world is impermanent. One should constantly remember death.
Ramakrishna
As for myself, I look upon all women as my Mother. This is a very pure attitude of mind. There is no risk or danger in it. To look upon a woman as one's sister is also not bad. But the other attitudes are very difficult and dangerous. It is almost impossible to keep to the purity of the ideal.
Ramakrishna
You should not feel that your path is the only right path and that other paths are wrong. You mustn't bear malice toward others.
Ramakrishna
The world is not impermanent if one lives there after knowing God.
Ramakrishna
As a boy holding to a post or a pillar whirls about it with headlong speed without any fear or falling, so perform your worldly duties, fixing your hold firmly upon God, and you will be free from danger.
Ramakrishna
Only two kinds of people can attain self-knowledge: those who are not encumbered at all with learning, that is to say, whose minds are not over-crowded with thoughts borrowed from others and those who, after studying all the scriptures and sciences, have come to realise that they know nothing.
Ramakrishna
He who is called Krishna is also Siva and the Primal Sakti...He again, who is called Jesus and Allah. Truth is one.
Ramakrishna
The supreme purpose and goal for human life... is to cultivate love.
Ramakrishna
The waves belong to the water. Does the water belong to the waves?
Ramakrishna
Dislodging a green nut from it's shell is almost impossible, but let it dry and the lightest tap will do it.
Ramakrishna
It is on account of the ego that one is not able to see God. In front of the door of God's mansion lies the stump of ego. One cannot enter the mansion without jumping over the stump.
Ramakrishna
If a man prays to Thee with a yearning heart, he can reach Thee, through Thy grace, by any path.
Ramakrishna
One day, it was suddenly revealed to me that everything is pure spirit.
Ramakrishna
Right discrimination is of two kinds analytical and synthetical. The first leads one from the phenomena to the Absolute Brahman, while by the second one knows how the Absolute Brahman appears as the universe.
Ramakrishna
One must be very particular about telling the truth. Through truth one can realize God.
Ramakrishna
It's enough to have faith in one aspect of God. You have faith in God without form. That is very good. But never get into your head that your faith alone is true and every other is false. Know for certain that God without form is real and that God with form is also real. Then hold fast to whichever faith appeals to you.
Ramakrishna
Do not be small minded. Do not pray for gourds and pumpkins from God, when you should be asking for pure love and pure knowledge to dawn within every heart.
Ramakrishna
More are the names of God and infinite are the forms through which He may be approached. In whatever name and form you worship Him, through them you will realise Him.
Ramakrishna
Through selfless work, love of God grows in the heart. Then through his grace one realize him in course of time. God can be seen. One can talk to him as I am talking to you.
Ramakrishna
I have no disciple. I am the servant of the servant of Rama .
Ramakrishna
